So I crept on Jeremy Manongdo aka Passion, aka the Lemonade guy's xanga. I'm a big fan of the boys post; as always he has something beatiful to say.
Conversation between Passion & his girl HER: i dont know why but i was thinking about converting to buddhism.
PASSION: are you serious?
HER: yeah.
HER: lately, i've been going through some crazy stages where i can't find myself and i feel so distant from god. like i feel empty inside. and i've been reading about buddhism and meditation
HER: my friend aj whos really religious was like "its crazy how you feel so empty inside and all you can think about is god." -=(
PASSION: babe i dont mean to get all preacher on you, but God is the only way and the only real truth.
HER: yeah i know
PASSION: im not speaking in regards to church and what not. I'm talkin about your relationship with Jesus.
HER: but lately, i havent been going to church and i know its wrong but i dont know. he hasn't been on my side and i want to get closer and find him again but its hard.
PASSION: babe its not about church all the time. and i don't really know too much about the catholic religion n what not. But if anything, when you feel far from God, thats when He wants you to cry out to Him. i can tell you now, God changed my life babe. in ways that i can't even explain. now you can go out n try buddhism if you like, but just remember. Loving God isn't about what He can do for me, its what I can for Him. cuz he deserves it. Loving God isn't about ME and my needs. but through servin God,
PASSION: and knowing His worth, is where my life comes together. thats when the joy comes. when you put God first in your life. even before yourself.
HER: your right babe -=(
PASSION: babe knowing you for a long time, i wouldn't say these things to you if I didn't care. u know i love you.
HER: i know babe thannkkss
PASSION: and if i felt that God wasn't worth enough for me to tell you this, then i wouldn't. id say "go ahead n do what you like". but i have this feeling thats tellin me, if u go away from God, you're truly missing out on what you COULD have.
PASSION: just think about it ok?
HER: okie
HER: i will for sure
HER: thats something i should think about thanks babe
